  The problem is that the certificate is self-signed. FF3 just has a different dialogue for approving such a cert, but all browser will prompt you about it.

    No, I'm not paying for it :-) Sorry if this post came across as ungrateful.

    Hmm. Well, I'm really no expert in the field of authentication, encryption and so on. I was just taken aback a little by the wording of the error message, mainly the word "invalid".

    It would be a nice gesture if some Perl-friendly organization would certify PAUSE, like GoDaddy did for KDE [dattitu.de].

      GoDaddy seem willing to do it for any open source project https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/ssl/ssl_opensource.asp?ci=5988 [godaddy.com]

      I'm just saying nothing's changed except the browser's handling of self-signed certs. Admittedly, that change is rather jarring, since it looks a lot like a "failed to connect to server" error, as opposed to the old "insecure cert" popup.
      
      The GoDaddy option does seem like a good one.

        Yep. I just got it for rt.cpan.org as well and it surprised me again.

        Indeed. I shall try and find someone to bring it to their attention.

          There are other ways to get a free cert: http://cert.startcom.org/ [startcom.org]

  Thanks for the heads up!

  On Sat Apr 19 2008 PAUSE will switch to a cacert certificate. Please prepare your browser [perl.org].
